I found a roll of 6" paper at the thrift shop for 50cents. I did a bit of the piecing just to remind myself what I bought it for.
The shop said that they know there were a couple of other rolls of that paper that weren't sealed. She was going to put it aside for me, for the next time I'm in the area.

Do you pick and choose your colors as you stip them together , or just zip them up no willie nillie??

I try to go willie nillie but do sort of sort the scraps and pull things I really do not like with the majority of the scraps and I do like to make them a little crooked rather than neat and straight and various widths not all the same

This is stunning. I have started a shoe box with cut strips as suggested. That is going well. I am now definitely adding a roll of till tape and going to use my bags of scraps to make a long 'snake'. This will be fun when i am BETWEEN projects.

Thanks for sharing.

I have fallen in LOVE with your 2 quilts.

Great idea. Yesterday my girlfriend bought to our quilt group two rolls of adding machine tape for all of us. She told us that she will send the tutorial which i just viewed and I am amazed at all of the possibilities...they are endless. When she gave them to us, I did not imagine this many quilts with just a roll of adding machine tape. What a creative idea for paper piecing. I think that quilters should run this country. Now, I believe that I can do anything thanks to my quilting friend who brought this idea to me and my cyberfriend for putting this idea out there for her to find. Now I must get to work. Thanks girlfriends, you are the bestest.
